Didn't see any threads for Marshall this year. Just wondering who out there is also applying to Marshall. I applied for the R1 deadline on Nov 1 and just received an interview invite. Would love to chat with anyone else who is applying or has also received an interview invite.

Could you share some of your other stats considering your GMAT score is top notch?

Thanks and keep your head up...this was an extremely tough year to apply.

No interview still, so I guess I'm out. Pretty disappointing...

Great to hear!

Remember, that 2-3% of USC applicants are admitted without an interview so I wouldn't say your chances are gone at all.

Is USC > UCLA for you?

Yes I interviewed with him last week. He asked a lot of the questions that were posted earlier in this thread.

Was it a blind interview? I've made a note of the questions referenced earlier in the thread... how much focus did he put into working through your resume?

Thanks and good luck!!

Not sure if it was blind. A lot of the focus was working through the resume, and that's how the interview started. Nothing too tricky, know your story and you'll be fine.

I actually didn't get a chance to visit USC, and was hoping I could for an interview. Generally though, I think I prefer UCLA - and ultimately wanting to end up in Nor Cal, I think Anderson has a better brand up here. After 4 dings though, I'd love to get in anywhere.

No doubt! I'm sure you will do fine at either (or even UT).

Hmnnn ... I could have sworn I was told that the decisions would be sent out on April 1st by 17:00 (PST) ... but close enough either way.

No acceptances yet, so I'm really hoping for some good news.

By the way hypermeganet, out of curiosity, what are your top 3 schools in order of preference?

Out of what's left? haha

Um, it really depends on visits. I'm heading to Boston tonight. And I plan on a trip out to ND soon.

USC was always one of my top 3 (alongside my two dings), so it still rests on top. But, honestly, I'm guessing a ding there, too.

I've really gotten into UNC. I liked the vibe a lot. And Virginia looks interesting, but they've been MIA for like a month now and I'm not thinking that looks likely.

So, of the schools I have not heard from + admits: USC > UNC> UVA > BC > ND > WUSTL > BU

I mostly like BC and they gave me a 2/3 scholarship. I'm just worried about career prospects.

I had my interview yesterday and at the end of it my interviewer explained the decision process. They are aiming to get ALL of the decisions out on 4/1 (via the status-check website) but if for some reason if it still says "under review" or "application submitted" or whatever then check again on 4/2. It just means that they haven't input all of their decisions into the system yet. I have a friend who was admitted the day AFTER their notification date for R1 so it is possible that you will see it updated 4/2.

I have pretty much given up hope...Rd2 USC applicant: 760/3.35 Princeton/11yrs WE/35 Yrold/Strong EC/Strong Essays/Good recs ...but I had a couple hiccups = dropped out of top 10 law program 7 years ago, went to rehab, have felony, a little bit choppy work history as result. I've been clean/sober almost 7 years and own my own real estate finance/consulting co, but I think the felony/age/choppy history killed me. i Thought (hoped) my essays portrayed a compelling story of young/mistakes/felony v. older/wiser/overcoming adversity and redemption. i guess not.

i got interview at UCLA and am hoping/waiting on that and Haas Rd 3 interview invite. We'll see. You guys are AWESOME on this site...and who knows, maybe I'll get in w/o interview?
